2542: Archie ruins Zoe's film project
Anita's having an identity crisis and starts to wonder if she might be better off if she was more like Theresa. When Theresa spends all her time gloating about her impending date with Jay, Anita decides to alter her own online profile and use Theresa's photo instead of hers. Theresa becomes curious of all the time Anita's spending on social networking sites. In order to protect her secret, Anita is forced to act with unreasonable discretion which only serves to irritate Theresa.

Satisfied that Anita has suffered enough, Lauren lets her foot off the pedal a little and suggests to Newt that she might be able to forgive Anita. The plan backfires, though, when Newt suggests that they go and see her. But as Theresa tells Anita that Lauren sent her the video of Anita being whitewashed by Gaz, Anita realises that Lauren has a role to play in her bullying. She confronts her and smashes her mp3 player in revenge - only to alienate herself further.

Loretta discovers that, having moved clubs, she's now lost her flat and is homeless. Dom goes home to spruce the flat up in the hope Loretta will move in with him. Loretta finds out that she'll be starting at the new club today and quickly satisfies Cindy's curiosity by offering to show her the ropes. Even more, Loretta promises to get her an audition. Cindy's annoyed when this raises little more than an eyebrow from Darren.

Just as Dom goes to fetch Loretta her newly-cut flat keys and diamante encrusted key ring, Darren unwittingly heads him off by offering her his spare room.

Following the disappointment over Loretta moving in with Darren, Dom's left reeling when Loretta is spotted by a punter from the club and he graphically relays to Dom his intimate knowledge of Loretta's body.

Rhys is unimpressed when Josh relays to him the latest verse of a song he's writing. Josh thinks Rhys is missing the point when Rhys suggests that the music's too bleak to get the girls. Rhys assures him that he's all about the music and proposes that they approach Kris about securing some airtime on the college radio station. Kris tells them he has no interest in playing their music on the station but when Rhys and Josh break out into an argument, Kris decides to air their bickering and is pleasantly surprised by callers' responses.

Rhys and Josh, bowing to popular demand, step up to the plate for a live session and in a moment of creative desperation, The Somethings are born. Kris suddenly gets stars in his eyes and realises the potential to ease himself into a managerial role. Instantly assuming his new guise, he starts to whip The Somethings into shape, telling the boys that what they really need is a female vocalist…

Archie rolls into Halls looking for a drinking buddy and discovers that Zoe's nearly finished her film. Using this as the perfect excuse to get back on it, Archie refuses to take no for an answer and enlists Zoe for prompt elevenses in the SU bar.

Zoe manages to embrace her brother's vulgarity for a few hours and there's a real sense of sibling camaraderie as they sink a few in the SU Bar and discuss their futures. When they return to halls, Zoe's putting the final touches on her film when Archie pops a bottle of celebratory Cava. To Zoe's horror, the bubbly sprays all over her laptop and in the blink of an eye, her film is gone…
